whatever the writers are on I want it! a squirtle beating a crobat 0.o

Why is Squirtle still considered a baby. if proffesor Oak had recieved the starter pokes they had to have been ready for a trainer to start out with it. It seems to me that it was at starter level so why was it considered a baby. Also Squirtle has been shown to have matured a bit since May first recieved it. Near the end of the episode it looked like Harley had won until May had a stroke of luck. Also has anyone noticed that the timer on the timed battle read 1:45 and the next thing that happened was that May won. I know what hapened but, just felt like pointing it out. Also I was hoping for Jessie to win but, whatever. Also was that hug thing a mistake or on purpose. I just thought it happened on accident and Jessie didn't plan for that but, quickly thought of something to make her look good.

Yeah it's implied that Squirtle is an infant. Compare it's size to Ash's Squirtle. Not to mention the fact that it was/is a crybaby, and treats May as it's mother is the stereotypical baby role in this show.

Well, this episode was normal. I can't believe that squirtle could won to a crobat and harley's ariados, but i think that in this episode there're some good things: when cacnea hugged jessie and everyone was crying and then she was paralised; jessie, a mummy; ariados, wobbufett and harley dancing! 7/10, to me!!

But Harley only just caught Ariados, surely, or else he would have used it in the Grand Festival. It's probably not much more experienced than Squirtle. I'm not at surprised that May won. And at least she was in trouble for the first half of the battle - Harley got her down to less than half her points without taking a hit himself. Buuut I guess I should resign myself to the inevitable b*tch-fest from the May-haters all the same. Sigh. *goes to make popcorn*

Still, Ariados is a fully evolved pokémon, and Zenigame is just a baby. Be definition Ariados must have a decent amount of experience because it's evolved. Even if it evolved in the wild, it makes no difference.

On an unrelated note, Jo-Jo are you content with the writers portraying Harley as the "loser" in every single contest he's in? How are we suppossed to take Harley as a serious opponent if May beats him everytime they meet? May's beaten him 3 times now.

And this was the most embarrassing loss for Harley too, against May's Lil' Squirtle.

What was the point of bringing Harley back and even putting him in the opening if he's just cannon fodder?

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!I'M SO FURIOUS! ANYONE! ANY COORDINATOR, EVEN JESSIE OR STEPHANO OR ANYONE! GO BEAT MAY AND SHOW HER WHO'S BOSS! YOU WILL BE ONE OF MY HONORARY CHARACTERS IF YOU DO! (Just like Tsukiko. I really like Tsukiko, you see, and one of the many reasons is she beat May.)

The anime has had examples of spirit meaning more than size before... I'm not surprised that the little blue guy managed to take the victory for May.

^ Agreed, especially as the person May was up against was Harley. I'm all for him beating her - ideally in a later contest, closer to the Grand Festival - but it would make an unsatisfying ending to an episode for the villain to win. Maybe if there was another 'good' character in the contest who could defeat Harley after he beats May, then that would work, but not if he's going to win the whole thing.

Yay yay yay, Wobby got used for a contest! Too bad Harley wrapped things up so quick (okay, bad joke), but I did like the little dream bit about how Wobbuffet will attack. I also liked how Jessie got bandaged up from Cacnea hugging her and then ripped the bandages off. LOL

Yes but this was pathetic. If Combusken had beaten Harley's rear it would have been acceptable. Instead be get return of Super Skitty.

Some people don't think it's funny that Exit 69 gets off on Big Beaver.

I looked at the ep pics for this ep and i officially proclaime i hate the writers of pokemon. How, HOW could they make an awesome Ariados lose to a baby Squirtle who has had little battle experience and win his first contest??? I wouldn't be as upset if it wasnt Harley that once again had to lose to May. Why cant they show Harley win for once? Everytime he goes up against the annoying little girl he loses! It justs bugs me how such a great character can never get a break. His win over Jeese was kinda stupid too. It was neat how he made Wobb a puppet but that was a lame win... The coolest part of the ep was seeing the spider webs all over the stage and seeing May almost lose. I was so mad when i saw that darn Squirtle freeze Ariados with Ice Beam. I cant believe a little starter pokemon knows Ice Beam already. Whats wrong with the writers?

Besides that it was neat to see Cacnea and Wobbuffet appear in the contests. What was it that Cacnea used? And do you think they are going to keep Jesse's hair like that? I think its time for Team Rocket to change a little. They should also get some new outfits. The white ones are getting old.

Heh, I love how people hate it. I, for one, am proud of Squirtle. It tried and tried and pulled it off. I don't like where it will turn up though if this winning streak continues. It will eventually feel like Ash's Bulbasaur and Squirtle and feel it won't need to evolve to prove its strength. And why do people still think Squirtle is a baby? So its small, so its very low level but level /=/ age, its just a runt.

And why do I get the feeling that Munchlax will eventually evovle? I don't want it to evolve but its been so underused like Combusken was while it was a Torchic. Yes Munchlax would make a great contest pokemon with its interesting move pool but May doesn't feel it like I do.
